    What Kenny Pickett did on the last drive proved how badly Matt Canada is utilizing him. Pickett’s improvement the last few weeks has been exponential. The Steelers MUST take the reins off him earlier in games, not just when they’re in desperation mode in the last four minutes.

    James Franklin is a great recruiter. He has an excellent PR department that keeps pushing the narrative of his value to #PSU. He enjoys flying around in his helicopter Friday nights to watch his recruits. But when it comes to actual coaching, he is one of the worst in the NCAA.

    Mike Tomlin does three things badly... 1. Hire assistant coaches. 2. Clock management. 3. Throw challenge flags.

    Seeing Blazing Saddles trending as a movie that should be pulled off streaming services shows WHY people don't understand racism. It was satire...and was co-written by Mel Brooks and RICHARD PRYOR as a dig AT systemic racism. Sometimes WOKE people need to wake up.

    I don't care what anyone says, Odell Beckham Jr. has been the most overrated receiver in the NFL for at least three years. His entire career is based on one one-handed catch.

    #Steelers fans will lose their collective minds if Kenny Pickett gets a Super Bowl ring this year.

    Dumbest list ever. Marino never won a Super Bowl Unitas was average at best in his two. Mahomes shouldn't be on this list. Doug Williams should. And no Terry Bradshaw, Roger Staubach, Bart Starr or Troy Aikman, but Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre? Awful.

    Then you missed the Tweets saying this is all a liberal conspiracy and the coronavirus is no worse than the flu.

    Duquesne scored more points against West Virginia in the first quarter than Pitt has in the entire Backyard Brawl. Are the Panthers underachieving, or has Pat Narduzzi just gotten thoroughly outcoached by, of all people, Neal Brown? BTW...both things can be true.
